time for  another test ...yes it can fluctuate for diff reasons.....3.6 is hypo anyway. Do you have hashi's? If so you need to be suppressed way down to .50-1.0. Make sure you have your free t4 and free t3 done with your tsh. Get antibody tests done if you have not.

Yes, it can even change @ 6 weeks; but 4 weeks gives the Dr an idea .. tha is my understanding.
